I Hide

Everything I try to hide
deep down on the inside.
It seems to show
because you already know.
But you seem not to care 
about the things that leave  
broken, stripped to the bone,
bare.

The things you say,
the soft whispers in my ear
of the comforting words I 
longed to hear.

And the day has finally come
when I'm not so scared to fall 
in love. 
So I give you all of my heart,
the once broken, scarred thing.
That so many before have tore apart.

So what Im really trying to say
is that Im in love with you
and Im not afraid.
